lavender27 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Can you name the most unwanted Christmas present that you've been given from previous Christmas'?Why you didn't want it?And what you did with it?Edit: 2017 unwanted presents, why not do a swap with someone else on EDF.Administrator: I hope you allow this post, it's just a brain storm of mine.

SpringTime Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Probably bottles of Clinique moisturizer - never get through one before mum gives another, so ended up with surplus. Supplied to patients at the Maudsley.

Robert Poste's Child Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm more perpetrator than victim, particularly with things I've knitted. The presents I pass on most often are chocolates with alcohol in.

pato Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I had one of the most ugly but surely one of the most useful: I had a UK made Brick with 2018 written on it!Person that gave it to me says apparently they are in big demand these days so.. easy to give to someone else in case.She also added everybody has an irish relative, a scottish friend or european family. Perhaps American friends or mexican friends maybe?...In the middle east also in big demand and all over the world really. Cataluna wants to separate, and surely some North Italians will be happy to "draw a line" above Rome!I must say it is an ugly present, possibly most ugly ever, but surely one of the most useful in this world..From my side i would have welcomed better some chocolate box and wine to share!!
